I thought I could have a look at this (i.e., adding nanosleep from
Gnulib and then implement this).

I've never done a Gnulib merge, so I just tried running
admin/merge-gnulib first to bring us up to date...  and this resulted in
a vc-dir buffer that's 114 lines long and starts with:

And fails with:

configure:42647: error: possibly undefined macro: gl_PREREQ_RAWMEMCHR
configure:42918: error: possibly undefined macro: gl_PREREQ_STRTOLL
autoreconf: error: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

So...  er...  I'm guessing something's not quite right here.  🙃

Paul, do you have any advice?
